Skin candy! Why not treat your skin as well as your body? - Page 2

Prozak · 05-15-2008, 03:51 PM

LOl how much could I sell my TOP SEKRET formula of one dollop of coconut oil per 2 fingertips of Xylitol for?

On that note.. for people doing the oil pulling, I am adding a smidgen of xylitol to the CO and it not only tastes better, but it is awesome for my TEETH!

I will NOT be revealing exactly what a smidgen is... you will all have to wait until I am selling it pre-mixed

Oh and ljh.. i am going to do the CLOil too, how much do you use and do the babies show any resistance to it? You ARE a good mama...

OurLuvsFromAbove · 05-15-2008, 07:21 PM

all i gotta say is woohoo!
my face is sooooooooo soft!
im deff going to start doing this a few times a week!

hummingbird11 · 05-15-2008, 07:57 PM

OMG! I just did it too! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. My face is smooth as a baby's butt! And smells like a Pina Colada!

I don't have any Xylitol or Sugar - so I used what I have: Whey Low (Sugar Made Healthy!)

I could barely keep my fingers out of my mouth while I was washing my face - YUM!!

Hey, way to go Prozak on discovering an edible facial cleanser! How fun! I think you should market it as an edible face & body cleanser for kids! Won't have to worry about it when they try to eat it!

Prozak · 05-15-2008, 08:08 PM

that is why I called it Face Candy!

I can't wait to do my whole body... but that xyletol is not cheap and my body is not small LOL

Maybe I will treat myself when I reach a minigoal of 180!

you can always save the xyletol for your face and use regular or brown sugar for your body!

Prozak · 05-15-2008, 08:35 PM

STOP THE PrESSES

Ladies, I just gave myself the most amazing foot/ankle/calf/lower thigh massage using my super sekret blend!

My lower extremities feel supurb!

OurLuvs, I am hoping to reap the benefits of the xylitol on my skin.. and i will have a comparison between this weight loss using it, and my prior weight loss not using it.

Seriously though if I replaced my entire skin care regime with this and had super results, i would save a fortune in products alone!

i will keep you posted

Grrrreat idea!! Dang, now I wish I hadn't given my all of my Sugar (along w/ all the rest of the refined/packaged/processed stuff I don't eat anymore) to my MIL!!

My own Mom was like "You mean you decided not to eat all that stuff anymore cause it's "bad" for you - and then you boxed it all up and sent it to your MIL"??

I said YUP!

You should have seen how HUGE the box was! The postage was $45 USD!!!!!

Tooter · 05-16-2008, 04:48 AM

Prozak, I can't wait to try this. I have been using EVCO on my skin for awhile now and love it. Mixing it with the Xylitol? Brilliant!!!!

I can't wait to try it.

Thank you, for the heads up!

danidevictor · 05-16-2008, 08:24 AM

i love learning new things to use for my face and this sounds wonderful. this is probably a stupid question but i dont have xylitol so if i use sugar none of it can absorb into my skin can it? and if it could could it really do any harm to my diet? again sorry for the question im just wondering.

Prozak · 05-16-2008, 08:39 AM

I think that the outside of your body is the best place for the sugar

it will merely act as an exfolient and help to scrub away those dead skin cells and revealing the glowing, wonderful skin underneath all that.

You just don't want to be licking it off of your fingers if you are using real sugar

(some people like to use brown sugar, I have seen those types of scrubs in the pharmacy/salons, but this is MUCH cheaper with NO chemicals)

Melle · 05-16-2008, 08:43 AM

Well, while we're experimenting...I read on Stevia.com, that stevia is good for your face. They were talking about making a mask out if it, letting it dry, and washing it off.

Well, I have a full box of those little packets of stevia. I don't like the packets (not that brand, anyway)...I prefer Sweetleaf. So, I dumped a packet of stevia in a little glass and added drops of water, until it made a toothpaste-like consistency...spread it all over my face and neck. It's on there, now. I feel a warm, tightening feeling. In a few minutes, I'll go take a shower...I'll let you know!

OMG! Has anyone ever used "Merle Norman's Miracol Mask"? This is tightening, just as much as that, but it doesn't burn so badly. I remember having to sit in front of a fan, because that Miracol burned so badly!

Adream · 05-16-2008, 08:52 AM

What a collection of brilliance on this board!

Prozak, I'm going to find some xylitol and add it to the EVCO that I am now madly in love with. No kidding, if I could roll around in a bathtub full of it , I would!

By the way, I saw your picture. You are NOT 43!

Prozak · 05-16-2008, 08:54 AM

LOL thanks... and you are right, I was 41 in that picture

I tried that. It's the liquid, Brown Stevia. Sort of tastes like a brown sugar/molasses type sweetener.

It does work for a nice facial mask. I posted about it months ago (heck it might be year) .

THANK YOU LADY!!! I did the Xytiol & Coconut regiment last nite, WOW!! My skin felt so clean.
Little side note: For Dog Owners Be VERY CAREFUL W/XYITOL, LETHAL TO DOGS!!! I made sure I did this over the counter/in the sink so poochie would not get a nip of sweetness. Again TY

THANK YOU, FOR THAT INFORMATION. Even though I have no Xylitol, right now, I'm getting ready to order some. I would have probably given a bite of something made with Xylitol, to my yorkie...she's low-carbing, with me.

Splenda is also BAD NEWS for dogs! (but no surprise there)

Didn't know that, either. I'll just quit giving her anything sweet, except her "spray ice cream". I get those cans of Readi Whip that have less than a gram of carbs, for 2-tbsp...I give her a little half-second spray, in her dish...one every evening. She thinks it's "spray ice-cream".

Awww, thanks, I try but I am always learning! I wouldn't do any more than a quarter tsp. of CLO, a little goes a long way.
